Answer: 9.5 is the answer. You have to distribute through.
Explain: 4x+10=48
Subtract 10 from both sides you get 4x=38. Then divide both sides by 4 you get 9.5.
Hi there!
We can divide this shape into 3 rectangles.
1st rectangle dimensions: 5m × 3m
2nd rectangle: 12m × 4m
3rd rectangle: 2m × 5m
Find the areas using the equation:
<u>A = l × w</u>
1st rectangle: 5 × 3 = 15m²
2nd rectangle: 12 × 4 = 48m²
3rd rectangle: 2 × 5 = 10m²
Add the areas up:
15 + 48 + 10 = <u>73m²</u>
Divide by the coefficient of x.
x = 27/47
Convert them to have the same denominator then subtract
